Scientists in Israel say they have created a ‘revolutionary concept’ for the 3D printing of food based on a new raw material, Crystalline Nano Cellulose (CNC). They claim the technology will lead to the production of ready-to-eat foods for people with special dietary needs, while also helping to tackle food security problems. The system was… Continue reading Food Printing Technology to Serve Diet Needs
The Cubibot team has been perfecting its printer for 2,5 years (time past from the launch of the first model) and now is raising money on Kickstarter to produce the new version of a smarter, safer and easier-to-use printer that makes 3D printing accessible to the masses and is suitable for users without 3D printing… Continue reading Cubibot—An Affordable 3D Printer For Everyone
On September 26-28, one of the broadly known 3D printing tradeshows—TCT Show—will take place in Birmingham, UK. This significant event will gather 3D printer producers from everywhere with their latest gadgets. Finnish 3D printer manufacturer miniFactory and Italian Sharebot have already applied for participation.
A new crowdfunding project of the Toybox Labs aims to produce a 3D printer which can be easily and safely operated by kids. The company has already gathered the needed sum of $40,000 while the campaign on Indiegogo is still on and will end only on September 22. The success of a project can be explained… Continue reading Toybox 3D Printer For Kids
While the technology develops very fast, 3D printing has occupied production first and then has penetrated education not only making it much more fun but providing earlier unseen opportunities for educational makerspaces. It concerns Dremel—a manufacturer of versatile tools systems with the 85-year-long history. Recently, the brand has unveiled a new printer model of the… Continue reading Dremel’s Educational 3D Printer
Kodama is a San Francisco-based company providing unusual 3D printing solutions and unique designs. For example, its Trinus 3D printer doubles as a laser engraver. This time, it has solved the problem of unpresentable design, high price and unreliability of modern 3D printers—with its Kickstarter project—Obsidian series of printers.
A young start-up Voodoo Manufacturing was founded in October 2015 by ex-MakerBot engineers. It’s an ambitious project aiming to automate production 3D printing, reduce the workforce operating the machines and in the long range to redefine what it means to be a factory worker.
With the invention of 3D printing technology all the human fields of life are on the rise. Space travel fever has spread the world, and scientists direct energies to create new solutions allowing to build Moon and Mars bases on the spot. Self-replicating machines-meaning 3D printers which can build other 3D printers and equipment-are being… Continue reading New Project Of Self-replicating 3D Printer
Modern designers have employed 3D printing technology almost since its invention. All kinds of art objects have been created with the help of the new technology—from 3D printed furniture, vases and figurines to faucets and kitchen utensils. The experts tend to call this phenomenon “a digital handmade”—a fusion of traditional crafts with cutting-edge digital… Continue reading 3D Printing As Contemporary Art
Continuing the column “What else can we print on a 3D printer?”, we should mention a recently improved technology, allowing to use glass as a 3D printing material. The scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) detailed their findings online in the journal Nature and are spinning off a company to commercialize the technology.
